The President and Secretary of State have less power than you think; they aren't corporate CXOs. They are subject to the laws, and NSA must follow laws made by Congress. That's intentional - the division of power is that Congress makes the rules and the executive branch implements them.
The Secretary of State should have a secure mobile communication device, as should most everyone else in national security positions (and other jobs). It's absurd that they didn't. Just think of the productivity hit and the capability hit - imagine how it interferes with responses to crises.
Who here would tolerate it at their workplace?

Indeed indeed... but sadly, as we're seeing (especially, but not just) with DOGE this keeps on eroding.
